The Prince and Mr. Blaine.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3l.-A London despatch
to the Tribune today says that Mr.. Blaine's
visit TO HOmburg has resulted in an ae-
quaintanee with the Prince Of Wales more
intimate than would have been likely to oc-
cur in London. Letters from American and
English friends agree In saying that the rela-
tions between them are frequent enough 10
attract attention. Since Mr.. Blaine was pre-
sented, at the Princes request, they have
met three times In public. The last time was
on lawn tennis ground. The Prince asked
Mr.. Blaine to sit with him and they had a Is
minutes talk while the Anglo-American col
ony, which IS still numerous, looked on. The
Prince has, in fact, not only been extremely
cordial but has shown his interest in the
American statesman In such a way as 10
make IL sure that II should be seen and known
OF all men. Various reports of their eOnVer-
sation are In circulation at HOmburg, but the
Prince and Mr.. Blaine are presumably the
only persons who really know what was
said.
